The International Day of Light will take place on 16th May 2018 and will be a celebration of light and light based technologies and provide recognition of the central role that light plays in our everyday lives. This follows on from the highly successful International Year of Light in 2015, which included a series of events that showcased light science and technology. The 16th May was the date in 1960 on which the physicist and engineer, Theodore Maiman, first demonstrated the laser. Laser technology is now ubiquitous across many applications, and serves as a perfect example of how scientific advances can transform everyday life. In recognition of the Day of Light, we are compiling a virtual special issue of papers that show the importance of such technologies in the wider world.
